On Friday, July 19, 2024, Alligator Records will release GOOD INTENTIONS GONE BAD, the new album from award-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Chris Cain. GOOD INTENTIONS GONE BAD is Cain's second Alligator album, and the 16th of his career. It will be available on CD, red vinyl LP, and at all digital services.
“Chris Cain is the most important blues player you need to hear. Marvelous and irresistible...Cain brings an indelible touch and resonance to the blues, combining down-home sentiment with uptown feel. He unleashes unadulterated fretboard genius.”
–Vintage Guitar
“A heady stew of rough-and-tumble electric blues...Potent guitar work and rough, lived-in vocals are edge-of-your-seat stuff. Cain’s exceptional original songs relentlessly reveal startling hooks and riffs amidst a wash of piercing, razor-sharp guitar.”
–Blues & Rhythm
“Chris Cain is one of the most brilliant and vital figures making music of any kind. He’s near legendary on the blues scene...an extraordinarily talented, consummate musician delivering passionate, heartfelt vocals, potent, superb playing and marvelous songs.”
–Blues Music Magazine
On GOOD INTENTIONS GONE BAD, Chris Cain delivers thirteen lyrically fresh original songs, seven of which add a swinging horn section to the mix. The album was produced by Christoffer “Kid” Andersen (of Rick Estrin & The Nightcats) at his famous Greaseland USA studio in San Jose, California. GOOD INTENTIONS GONE BAD is, Cain says, “the best album I’ve ever made, thanks to Kid.” With Cain leading the charge on guitar, the band delivers top-shelf performances on every track. From the humorous, true-to-life title track to the epic, slow-burning Waiting For The Sun To Rise to the Memphis soul-inspired Thankful (featuring a shared vocal with Cain’s labelmate, Tommy Castro), the new album finds Cain operating at the absolute peak of his powers, with Andersen pushing him to new heights every step of the way.
“I’m so proud of this record,” says Cain. “I know I’ve never sung or played better. Kid’s ideas, the vibe he created...he makes you better while having a great time. This album is the logical next step after RAISIN' CAIN. Everything I hoped for doubled.”
Today, Monday, May 20, Chris Cain premieres the new video for his original song, Fear Is My New Roommate. Watch and share the video below.
